Banfill Crossing

Banfill Crossing sits over on University Avenue in Fridley and has been serving seniors since 1999, and while you'll find 110 senior apartments spreading over four floors, with one- and two-bedroom layouts to choose from, each apartment comes with helpful features like washers and dryers, dishwashers, cable hookups, adjustable kitchen shelves, and even ceiling fans, microwaves, electric stoves, and patios or balconies so folks can step out for some fresh air, and renters right now pay from $1,290 up to $1,855, depending on the floorplan they pick. The building belongs to Huron LLC, though Lang Nelson & Associates now manage it, and there's an old mortgage left from before at a rate of 3.74% that will finally finish in September 2031, which is about 85 payments from now, and past property values have been close to $15 million, so it's not a small place. Banfill Crossing is a place for people over 55 who want to stay active, along with those who need a little more help with things like medications or personal care, and if a primary caregiver needs a break, the community does offer respite care too. There's independent living with resort-style extras, assisted living support, and help finding the right fit, since staff provide guidance about senior housing and even compare different places for you. Banfill Crossing stays close to shopping and public transportation, and the staff-the Lang Nelson Experience folks-run quite a few social programs and activities throughout the year, plus there's a community activity calendar. People who live there have left high review scores-9.7 from 25 reviewers and 9.0 from another 92, so people seem pleased. Amenities stand out a bit with garden plots for those who like to get their hands in the dirt, a library, a hair salon, a clubhouse, a nice big lobby for gathering, transportation services including a community bus, and even a car wash bay for those who drive. Payments for rent and such can be made electronically. There's a downloadable brochure for more details, and senior living advisors are around to help answer questions or explain options if someone needs more information.
